Love Island star Jack Keating's baby mum revealed as stunning artist

The 'mystery mum' of Jack Keating's newborn daughter has been revealed, following the unexpected news that the 23-year-old became a dad.

Ronan Keating's son had been keeping the news lowkey when the tot was welcomed into the world earlier this week.

The former Love Island bombshell is believed to have welcomed his daughter with the stunning artist, Keely Iqbal, who responded to a message of congratulations on Jack's Instagram page, reports The Mirror.

The new mum describes herself as "Mummy. Artist. Sneakerhead," on her Instagram page having continually shared updates throughout her pregnancy despite radio silence from Jack on his social media presence.

But after the former reality star took to Instagram to reveal his news, Keely responded to the flurry of messages congratulating the pair for "finally" sharing the announcement.

One person commented: "Little angle, happy for you both," which saw Keely respond with a heart emoji.

While a second typed: "@keelyiqbal she is your double through and through. Congratulations both. PS its about frickin time. At least its out now."

"Congratulations @keelyiqbal and @jackkeating11," added a third.

Before a fourth friend of the pair went on to type: "Congrats to you and @keelyiqbal soo proud of you!"

When the news was first announced it left fans confused about the timeline of the pregnancy, with many sitting racking their brains after discovering the newborn may have been conceived before Jack flew to find love in Casa Amor.

Sharing a black-and-white photo of himself cradling his baby, he captioned the post: "Welcome to the world my little [princess emoji]".

One follower typed: "I know I'm bad at maths, but the math ain't mathing on this at all!!! Love Island isn't even 9 months ago yet. I mean I know accidents happen but…"

A second commented: "I'm so confused. The maths isn't adding up."

"So did he have a gf when he was in Love Island correct me if I'm wrong it said he was in the villa 8 months ago and a baby takes 9 ?" questioned a third.

However, another user typed: "Clearly went on love island for money, not Love!!! Babies are expensive tbh so don't blame you. Congrats."

But it's currently unclear as to whether the new parents are still an item as he recently joked he was "single and ready to mingle" and had been using dating apps.

Speaking to The Irish Independent, Jack said: "I'm on Hinge [the dating app], but I don't use it too seriously.

"I dip in every once in a while and I'm enjoying being single."

Jack's stint in Love Island wasn't a long one, as he failed to make it back to the main villa after appearing in the relationship test that is Casa Amor.

He wasn't the only one on that series with a famous parent, as runner-up Gemma Owen was the daughter of football legend Michael Owen.

Jack has also filmed an episode for ITV's Dinner Date which will air on the network later this month.
